Recall of Mayor
Orlowski is goal
of petitioners
The recall of Banks Mayor
Robert Orlowski is the object of
petitions being passed by a
group calling itself “Citizens of
Banks for a More Informed
Community.”
According to the Petition for
Recall filed by Becky Gosselin,
the chief petitioner, Orlowski is
responsible for inadequate
communication with the citi-
zens of Banks, resulting in in-
sufficient votes to maintain the
police department levy.
The petition further claims
that major decisions are made
without citizen input, that citi-
zens “are not encouraged to at-
tend City Council meetings”
and when they do, are not al-
lowed to speak.
The petitioners must submit
petitions with 68 valid signa-
tures to bring a recall election
to the voters. The deadline for
the signatures is January 22
and, as of Dec. 30, Gosselin
said they had obtained about
60 signatures.
In addition to Becky Gos-
selin, Ed Gosselin is listed as a
director of Citizens of Banks for
a More Informed Community.
Acrylic, digital prints
featured in exhibit
Nature and technology col-
lide in “Digital Wonders,” a
Kathrin Cawein Gallery exhibit
featuring acrylic and digital
prints by Wid Chambers. The
show will be open Monday,
January 5, and continue
through January 20.
Chambers began painting
with acrylics 35 years ago. He
said acrylics provide him with a
variety of advantages and a
degree of control while still al-
lowing for “lucky accidents’
when he paints spontaneously.
Although his painting are
abstract, Chambers said he
believes they represent his
awe and reverence for the nat-
ural world.
The Kathrin Cawein Gallery
is located on the Pacific Uni-
versity campus in Forest
Grove. The hours are Monday
– Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. and Saturday from 10
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is
free.

Scholarships for students interested in public affairs
Pacific University is offering
several scholarships of up to
$2,000 for students who show
a special interest in public af-
fairs. The McCall Scholarships
are supported in part by pro-
ceeds from Pacific’s Tom Mc-
Call Forum, which draws na-
tional political figures each year
to Portland for a debate be-
tween a liberal and conserva-
tive of national prominence.
In the Service
Matthew M. Tardio
Army Pvt. Matthew M. Tar-
dio has arrived for duty at Fort
Myer, Arlington, Va., for a
three-year assignment with the
3rd Infantry, traditionally known
as “The Old Guard,” it is the
oldest active infantry unit in the
Army.
Soldiers in The Old Guard
serve as the Army’s official cer-
emonial Honor Guard and es-
cort to the President at the
White House. As an infantry
unit, it maintains tactical and
technical proficiency as well as
providing security for key na-
tional leaders in times of emer-
gency or national disturbance.
The unit soldiers are responsi-
ble for the conduct of military
ceremonies at the Pentagon,
national ceremonies and else-
where in the nation’s capital.
They maintain a 24-hour vigil at
the Tomb of the Unknowns,
provide military escorts at Ar-
lington National Cemetery, and
participate in parades at Fort
Myer and Fort McNair, Wash-
ington, D.C.
A further distinction of The
Old Guard is the time-honored
custom of passing in review
with bayonets fixed at all pa-
rades, a distinction that today
is still reserved only for The Old
Guard.
Tardio, an infantryman, is
the son of JoAnn M. Strickland
in Banks. He is a 2002 gradu-
ate of Banks High School.
The New Year is the season in
which custom seems more par-
ticularly to authorize civil and
harmless lies, under the name
of compliments. People recipro-
cally profess wishes which they
seldom form and concern which
they seldom feel.
— Philip Dormer Stanhope,
4th Earl Chesterfield
(1694–1773)
“At Pacific, we are proud of
our long tradition of educating
successful and productive citi-
zens who build community
through public affairs,” said
Bob Van Dyk, associate profes-
sor of political science. “The
McCall Scholarships reflect our
commitment to leaving behind
more than we take.”
Those interested in a McCall
Scholarship must apply for, and
be admitted to, Pacific Univer-
sity no later than February 1,
2004. They must also submit a
two-page, double-spaced es-
say that describes their involve-
ment in and/or study of public
affairs and future plans.
In addition, applicants are
strongly encouraged to attend
the Pacific University Paceset-
ters Scholarship Competition,
held on February 15, 2004 and
on March 1, 2004. This compe-
tition provides an opportunity
for talented students to work
with Pacific faculty and to
demonstrate their academic
abilities.
